Join us for what will surely be an extraordinary conference/convention co-sponsored by the International Remote Viewing Association and the Monroe Institute! 

The Monroe Institute is the world leader in human consciousness exploration, offering life-changing training and audio technologies to millions around the globe. The International Remote Viewing Association is one of the few professional organizations in the world designed to specifically advance the history, research, art, and practice of utilizing intuition scientifically yet practically. It is the only one devoted to the full spectrum of remote viewing methodologies and technologies. 

During PsiFest 2023, we will celebrate our intertwined history, interests, and communities while sharing the latest innovations in research, technology, training, applications, and practice. We aim to advance knowledge, science, psi-based skill levels, and enthusiasm for topics related to remote viewing, OBEs, states of consciousness, the neuroscience of intuition, dream ESP, project management, psychic detective work, etc. 

Our goal for attendees, whether those brand new or professional, is to bring them to their next level in growth, awareness, understanding, and application of these topics we are so collectively passionate about. Just as importantly, we intend to have a majorly FUN time.

Make sure you get plenty of sleep before coming to this whirlwind adventure! You won't want to miss a single second of what is sure to be an incredible lineup of speakers and topics, social events, and delicious group meals. Still, there will be some moments of relaxation when you visit Monroe's Experiential Room or IRVA's Experimental RV room. 

We have the motto "no one left behind" so you can be sure even if you don't know anyone - that will not be the case by the time you leave!

THIS IS OUR TEMPORARY LANDING PAGE!

We are now open for registration, even though we are still developing the speaker program and full conference website page.

ABOUT THE VENUE

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Charlottesville - 990 Hilton heights rd, Charlottesville, Virginia 22901.

Hotel Group Discount Code is "Psi Fest IRV"

Attendees can make reservations by using the link below or going to the website and putting in the code IRV. Attendees can also call Hilton Reservations and give them the group code.

Below is the booking link for our group.

Just click:

PSiFest: IRVA & Monroe Institute Conference

Reservations can be made through the Hilton direct line too using the group code PsiFest IRV by calling 1-800-HILTONS

(Make sure tell them it is the Charlottesville in Virginia! - It does appear to be quite easy to book online as well at the above link).

Discounted room rates will be approximately $146.00. You will be responsible for booking your own room.

It would be very helpful if you book through the hotel directly because we have to guarantee a certain number of rooms that we will have to be responsible for and if people book through other systems, we won't get that credit.

Initially, we have have 90 rooms reserved but will likely be able to add more within the month. They will probably just ask you to pay for the first night and then pay for the rest upon arrival.

Traveling by air: Fly in and out of Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport. This is 4 miles from the airport. You can take a taxi or Uber.

Amtrack and Greyhound and an assortment of taxis are in the area.

The hotel is about 45 minutes away from the Monroe Institute. Transportation will be provided on Sunday for the tour, to and from the airport.

ONLINE HYBRID CONFERENCE

While we'd love to see you in person, we understand not everyone can make the trip. IRVA's online conference was hugely successful last year because we believe that an online conference cannot just be an afterthought - it has to be an event unto itself. 

All in-person speakers for the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday programs will be broadcasted into the Zoom call and online attendees will have a chance to ask them questions. Attendees will have opportunities to interact with each other to make this experience as social as possible. 

Further, on Sunday afternoon from 1 pm to 5 pm, there will be a special online program with a lineup of speakers and a guest MC who will just be on Zoom. In-person attendees will be on tour at this time, but they can watch the program during the recording later.
Note: The conference video will be available to all those registered online at no additional charge following the conference. The video series will cost significantly more than the online conference fee, so even if you can't be there the whole time you may consider registering.

The fee to attend online only is $150 if you register by June 1. After this, the price will go up to $195.  IRVA and Monroe Members may apply the discount codes below to this.

Any questions regarding the online portion of the conference should be directed to contact@irva.org.

*Important: At the time of the online event, when you come onto the Zoom call, the name on your account (which can be changed before you log in or during in the zoom dashboard) must match the name on your registration page. When you check out, it will ask you for the screen name you wish to use, if different from your registered name or if you are purchasing more than one ticket for another person. Make sure you note this so your online conference experience goes smoothly as our staff will need to verify your registration. If you can't be verified, you'll be put into a waiting room where staff will attempt to contact you via chat.

MEMBER DISCOUNT CODES FOR CONFERENCE REGISTRATION FEE

(only one use per person, to be applied only to the Conference fee, can't discount meal plan.

Please choose a discount code that would apply to you if you are an IRVA or Monroe Current member in good standing. After you register, this will be checked. If you are not a current member, please consider joining now so you can use one of these codes!
To receive a discount, you must be a member in good standing when the conference starts under that code. So for example if you are a student member today but that membership expires before the conference you will need to upgrade your membership to associate (this doesn't happen automatically for student members). If you aren't sure when your membership expires, you can inquire at contact@irva.org,

• IRVA Student Member - (10 % off) COUPON CODE: IRVAStudent
• IRVA Associate Member - (10 % off) COUPON CODE: IRVAStudent
• IRVA Tasker Member (15% off) - COUPON CODE: IRVATasker

REFUND POLICY

You may receive a refund for an illness or emergency at any time up until the start of the conference. However, a 15 % fee will be deducted to cover fees that our payment processor will not return per this year's new rules. Otherwise, we would sustain a loss. Also, there is extra work for our paid staff to do when a refund is issued. Another option will be for you to transfer your conference registration fee to another event IRVA is offering. 

Additional Courses offered through Monroe Institute following the conference will be subject to their own refund policy.

COVID POLICY

We will not have any restrictions related to COVID. Those wishing to wear masks are most welcome and should feel comfortable doing so, but should not expect others to. Anyone who is ill has any COVID symptoms or is running a fever should not attend. If you become ill during the conference, you should stay in your room, not join the others,  and arrange for travel plans back home.  Everyone should be aware that gathering with a group for several days inside is seen as higher risk behavior to contracting COVID, or other transmissible, airborne illnesses, so if you attend, you do so at your own risk. We will have thermometers, extra masks, and hand sanitizer for anyone desiring these. That being said, if any local, state or national laws go into effect regarding COVID or any other illness, or the hotel sets forth new mandates as required per law, we will have to follow the law and in that case that mandated policy will supersede the one posted here.

POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR VENDORS

If you want to be a vendor, please inquire with contact @irva.org. We are still in the process of finding out how much space we will have.

MEDIA OUTLETS

We can not provide press passes (meaning we can not comp your entry fee). Still, we will have a special program to allow a limited number of press, podcasters, radio show and TV hosts to have special access to speakers and private rooms for interviews. If this interests you, please contact our Media and Publicity Manager at mich721@gmail.com.

PAID SPONSORS

If you would like to help promote or be a paid sponsor for the event, please inquire with contact@irva.org
